Start with the house
Tell us what you know about the property, its condition, who lives there, access, and your timing. We review the house as-is and give you written terms before you commit. You can compare those terms with listing or another option.
Tell us about repairs, occupancy, access, and what you want to compare.
We review the property as it stands; no repair or cleanout campaign is required to sell to us.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You see the written terms before you commit, and closing is through a title company.
Compare the written number with what listing might leave after repairs, commissions, concessions, holding costs, and time. Choose the path that fits the house and the work you want to take on.
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

Market context
These figures describe Anchorage market measures, not the value or likely sale price of one house. Each shared data card keeps its source, geography, and period beside the number.
Prices, timing and your selling options
Homes in Anchorage, AK sold for a median of $465,000 for the three months ending August 2026 (Redfin). Repairs and condition affect what someone will pay for your house. Homes in Anchorage, AK spent a median of 9 days on the market for the three months ending August 2026 (Redfin). You still have bills while waiting to sell, including utilities and any mortgage payments. Allow time for closing, too.
Estimate what you may keep
A sale price is not the same as the amount left after costs. Use the Anchorage home-sale net proceeds calculator to compare a listing estimate with an as-is cash-sale estimate, then adjust the assumptions to fit your house. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Downtown Anchorage, Spenard, Midtown, and Mountain View are Anchorage neighborhood examples. Eagle River, Chugiak, and Girdwood are communities within the Municipality. Wasilla and Palmer are in the separate Matanuska-Susitna Borough, not Anchorage Municipality.
Anchorage's 2024 ACS 1-year housing profile reports 121,214 housing units, including 58,928 in one-unit detached structures. Other units are distributed among attached, multifamily, mobile-home, and other categories. These are Municipality-wide counts, not a price estimate for one property.
Before you agree to a closing plan
Alaska does not charge a state real-estate transfer tax or deed tax. A 2024 law bars new state, borough, and city taxes on real-property transfers but preserves earlier local ordinances. Ask the closing professional to confirm whether any preserved local tax applies to this property.
The State Recorder's Office charges $20 for the first page of a document and $5 for each additional page, with small extra charges in some cases. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
If the house is co-owned or inherited, ask the title company handling the sale to check the ownership record and any estate or court papers, then tell you which people and documents it needs. If authority to sign is unclear, ask an Alaska attorney or the appropriate court before relying on a closing plan.
Tell us who lives in the house, what the lease says, the access limits, and the timing you are considering. For advice about what a lease allows in your specific situation, speak with an Alaska attorney.
If a trustee's sale is pending
Often, yes. Alaska home loans commonly use a deed of trust, so foreclosure is usually nonjudicial: the trustee sells the house at a public auction without a court case. The trustee must record a notice of default at least 30 days after the default and at least 90 days before the sale, and mail it by certified mail within 10 days of recording. The sale must also be publicly announced, including posted, newspaper and online notices.
A missed-payment default can generally be cured, and the sale stopped, by paying the amount in default plus foreclosure fees and costs before the sale. After a nonjudicial sale there is no right to redeem the house unless the deed of trust allows it; a court foreclosure has its own redemption period. Have the title company or an attorney confirm the current deadline and amount needed.
Our agreement of sale will often get a trustee's sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.
Read the longer Anchorage foreclosure guidance and confirm the deadline and amount with the title company or an attorney.
